Chapter 237. Work, Dad!

Wang Hou is different from any warlord in this era! Others are plundering in their own territory, and they are so poor that they can't survive. They fight to other people's territory to grab money, grain and women! Well..., Wang Hou seems to be robbing women, but his territory is rich and he looks like there is a "gold mine or silver mine", but the population developed is not enough! The most important thing is to come here to grab people!

More than a dozen iron and coal mines have been discovered in Taishan County. This year, Rizhao Steel Plant will expand its production scale and need to recruit people!

Wang Hou planned to build a road from Linzi to Rizhao City, so that it would be better to use scissors to transport industrial-made iron pots, iron bowls, iron cabinets, furniture, farm tools and cotton coats to the whole land, collect all the grain that was almost moldy when stuffed into the granary, and recruit people to build roads.

Now that cement demand has been repeated, cement factories also need to recruit people.

Wang Hou also wants to open Qingdao Port on the other side, where he builds the largest port shipbuilding center in the north, and also needs construction workers!

With the stimulation of Rizhao's industry and commerce, the grain industry in Guangling County has also developed on a large scale this year. Chen Deng has planned to open up wastelands. He even needs manpower to work in Xuzhou. There are so many job opportunities!

But Lao Shuantou took the family and didn't go!

Under the blue-gray Linzi city wall, a family was squatting there with their sleeves shrank. The old man looked around in disbelief and muttered in disbelief.

"It's strange! Linzi city was filled with stuff back then, why is there no one this year?"

It’s not that there are no one, but there are also people who squat at the wall like him, but they are a group of lazy men, who are lazy and shrinking there, eating and waiting to die, but not willing to work. There are rich families in the city who are kind-hearted to come out to give porridge, steamed buns and then come out to have a bite. If they don’t, they are hungry, and they would rather be hungry than find a job!

"Aweng, can anyone be there? They were recruited as soon as they arrived! I asked me to say that fat sister is quite real, why don't we go with me? Aren't we afraid of working, and it's not good to make a living?"

After squatting for a day, the old man's mistake in judgment made the young people in the clan become questionable, but listening to Awu's words, Lao Shuantou rolled his eyes in anger.

"What do you know? There are fish for three meals a day? I'll give you cloth and dream! Those people are clearly slaughtered. Let's follow us, maybe they'll be cheated and slaughtered into the pot! You see, they are so fat that they eat human flesh! They don't even have a patch on their clothes, and they're also stripping people's clothes to pick up cloth seals!"

Awu was really a little amused. Yesterday, when they came, they were called away hundreds of them, and this morning they were called away hundreds of them, and they were killed and eaten human flesh. Can't they be killed? He was helpless and bowed again.

"Ahon, then that government recruits people! The government is always trustworthy! It's better than being hungry here and leaning on him!"

"The government is even more unreliable. It's a big battle to drive you forward to stop the horse's hoof! You don't know how old Liu's son died in the east end of the village!"

"Listen to me! Wait! The government will plunder it like this. In a few days, those who escape from famine will have to block the Linzi city gates. Then we will follow us in!"

The old man was really stubborn. He stuck his beard and inserted his hand into his sleeve. He squatted under the walls of Linzi City again. Seeing that Awu shook his head helplessly.

…………

After squatting like this, two more days have passed. I can’t starve to escape to Linzi. In order to accumulate some good deeds, a family in the city sent people out to deliver some food from time to time. One day, he could have a half-full person who could not be hungry even if he squatted!

But people have all pursuits, and they stuffed cold steamed buns into their mouths. When Awu was filling his stomach, a slight sound of silly sound suddenly sounded not far away.

"Mom, why are these people squatting in the corner of the city wall?"

"These are all lazy people who are not motivated, mi cuckoos, and useless people who deserve to starve to death. Big brother, you can't learn from them when you grow up!"

"Well, mom, I will never learn from them!"

Carrying the basket and under the escort of the servants, the glamorous noble lady left with her son who had been educated on the spot. However, Awu was sad and helpless when he heard this. He turned his head and looked at his father again!

But he pretended to be invisible and gnawed the cold steamed bun. Lao Shuan Tou turned his head to the side, and Awu shook his head helplessly.

There is a saying that no coincidence can be written. Just when Awu was bored selling orders, he suddenly kept his eyes shut. He glanced at his father who was squatting on the ground, and quietly slipped out.

Wang Hou was dismissed from the army, leaving only 20,000 people. Of course, the remaining people were not just let go. Will it become the manpower of Qidi family to deal with their own? And finally, it was difficult to hold a large number of young and middle-aged laborers in their hands and not squeeze out some blood and sweat. What is the style of Wang Hou, a foolish businessman?

The 60,000 men recruited from Chengyang County were all organized into reserve corps. Ten thousand people built roads from Linzi, crossed Dongguan County, and arrived directly at Rizhao City. Twenty thousand people packed their things and set off, ten thousand built roads from Rizhao City to Linzi City, ten thousand built roads to Taishan County, and ten thousand built roads to Rizhao City, and ten thousand were also sent directly to Rizhao City. However, after they stayed in Rizhao for a short time, they would bring materials to build Qingdao Port.

Now there are only 20,000 reserve auxiliary soldiers left in Linzi City, and Wang Hou has to recruit additional auxiliary soldiers from the refugees.

Although the road construction costs a lot now, Wang Hou is not doing a loss-making business. After the road is repaired, he will build toll gates in various county towns that he passes by. He will learn from later generations who block the road and rob the road. He will have to pay the expressway fee for the cargo transporter! He can only leave with a lizard card before he can leave. He will also form a patrol cavalry, which will specifically rob the road on the road. If you catch you who have not paid the fee, you will be punished to death!

Although he did not use these auxiliary soldiers as real soldiers, Wang Hou's obsessive-compulsive disorder, in order to show their identity as a soldier, he also eliminated the broken leather and broken armor and put them on. At least he had the courage to be brave.

What surprised Awu was that just now he saw a man wearing a piece of armor, a rare knife, and a red cloth wrapped around his arm. He was said to have died outside, Liu Zhuzi, the only son of Old Liu in the village!

"Brother Zhuzi!"

After walking around the patrol in disbelief, Awu then carefully called out, let alone Liu Zhuzi had a small official. He suddenly led the team to stop by listening to the familiar local accent. He also turned around in disbelief and shouted in surprise.

"Awu! You..., why did you come here!"

"Yes, do you know the news in our countryside? How are my father and big shit?"

He rushed to Awu in surprise and shook his arm. Liu Zhuzi asked in a hurry, but Awu's expression was frozen there when he heard this.
